Facebook meeting turns into gunplay

A Hephzibah teen told police a man she met on Facebook fired several shots at her after he brought her chicken nuggets.

Quitney Antwane Hardens, 25, was booked into the Richmond County jail Wednesday on aggravated assault charges.

The 17-year-old girl told police she had been talking to the man, known only as Sean, on Facebook for about two years. On Aug. 21, he messaged her through social media asking whether she were home and whether she wanted chicken nuggets, according to an incident report.

When he pulled up at her residence about 1 p.m., she said, she recognized him from his online photos but had never met him.

He tried to make her get into the car and ride with him, she said, but when she refused he became angry and yelled at her. The girl told police she was walking away from the vehicle when the man pulled out a gun and fired several shots that hit her house.

Way too close call! Very thankful no one was physically hurt and that there was a witness. I hope this young lady has learned a lesson from this. Quitney is in a world of trouble now. TWIMC: article needs a quick proofread, third paragraph, I believe typo changed "Last week" into "Lady week".

I'm surprised he used a real photo of himself. Most predators are smarter than that. Mama may want to talk to her little girl, two years is a long time and it's amazing nothing has happened before now.

Sounds like both are mental cases ... him for shooting a gun and her for even considering meeting him. Why would he offer chicken nuggets anyway ... was it something she said she liked or this was all he could afford?

This girl must have had the hair on the back of her neck stand up or something because she knew she had better not get into his car. Darn good thing she didn't, if he fired shots at her in broad daylight in front of witnesses, no telling what he would have done if she got into his car.

And, yes, mom and dad needed to monitor her online love life - 15 and he would have been 23. That right there should have made her leery.

Man known as Sean...... Just saying, I know of a Sean.... Just kidding. Glad they got this stalking perv in custody. Surely he is a good boy to somebody, probably just a baby who mows the grass and takes out the trash when asked. Quitney and Shenayna just ditten hit it off, I guess. Is this a BOB crime or what?

@rebellious. It is a given that they are all good boys, and an aspiring rapper to boot. I'm sure he is enrolled in college where he is studying nuclear engineering. The left is condeming the use of the word thug as being racist. All thugs will henceforth be called miscreants by me.

Social media is starting to freak me out-too many people live their lives on it-like reality internet stars-maybe virtual reality is more descriptive-LOL. Then Facebook's little unethical social experiment really ticks me off-legal though unethical. I'm more worried about all our info-health, police, financial, etc-are all floating in the nether world ripe for cyber plucking-more so than global warming.

"The left is condeming the use of the word thug as being racist" A broad brush for a couple of people. "The left" has done no such thing. A few people have mentioned the way the term has been used, especially by Omaha police using the phrase, "thug cycle" while referring to a black two year old. I doubt seriously we have gangs of thug toddlers of any race roaming this country.
